Wesley Fofana wants a Chelsea move

Chelsea

Amid interest from Manchester City, Leicester City central half Wesley Fofana is open to a move to Tuchel’s Chelsea, according to 90min. 90min have reported that Fofana is open to joining Chelsea in the summer transfer window. This can well and truly happen if the former Chelsea can agree on a fee with his club Leicester.

The Foxes want more than £80 million for the £51,000-a-week Frenchman (SalarySport). Talks are going on between them and Chelsea.

Probability of Chelsea signing Fofana

Fofana’s stance on Chelsea is going to be a blow to Man City and PSG. City and PSG both are keen on signing the 21-year-old this summer. Looks like Chelsea is going to sign Fofana from Leicester City in the summer transfer window amidst interest from the Etihad. The Foxes, though are looking for £80 million+ and Chelsea is not willing to pay it straight up. But we know that Stamford Bridge is desperate to sign center-backs and might eventually cave and pay big. Fofana has been playing for Leicester since 2020 and has been able to make 35 PL appearances so far in his career.

Moving to Chelsea and contending for more trophies might help the young French defender Fofana get on French manager Didier Deschamp’s radar before the World Cup.

On the other hand, Marcos Alonso’s move to the Catalan giants could also be held up by the news of La Liga blocking Barcelona from registering their new summer signings. This means they could look to offload players instead of signing the Chelsea left-back.
